INNER DRIVERS

Everyone wants something, and everyone is capable of doing amazing things. Still, we often do not live up to our potential, and thus, we operate and remain far below our potential possibilities.

The MotivStrukturAnalyse MSA® (MSA) is a scientifically German-based personality analysis that shows the individual characteristics of the 18 basic motives. Using these 18 basic motives, the MSA can record and visualise our inner drivers. The MSA reveals and unlocks your potential and helps you understand what drives others.

The motives are our inner drivers, and they have a significant influence on our perception, our thinking and feeling, our communication, our projections and our behaviour. With the MSA, we know what is important to us and under which conditions we can succeed and be content.

The MSA maps the emotional core of a person's character and clarifies what moves people and sets them in motion. The MSA maps your:

Character
(Who am I?)

Temperament
(What moves me?)

Intrinsic motivation (How do I motivate myself?)

Leadership
(How can I understand and engage others?)

By mapping the motivational values and drives of people, the intrinsic drive and motivational potential of a human being, we can clarify why we act the way we do and what brings us joy.

It’s all about you

Unlike most behavioural or personality tests, the MSA collects previously isolated systems for (ground) motifs in an overall system and so is able to identify the intrinsic driving force behind us. It is the only tool that maps the most complete motivational, values, and drive structure of people.

Whether you are at a crossroads, seeking self-awareness, or merely curious about life and how to live it well, the MSA can help you answer the pertinent questions:

What makes you happy?

What gives you energy?

How can you lead a meaningful life?

How can you create a tangible work-life balance?

What matters to you, personally and professionally?

How can you motivate others?

How can you inspire others?

If you know your own motive structure, you are able to use this knowledge to facilitate decision-making in your private and professional life.

RAJ HAYER

My career was dictated by opportunities that were offered, I never had control over my own career. After continued education, I still couldn’t identify my own value proposition. Where did I add value, and how? What was my main motivation? After completing the Motive Structure Analysis (MSA®), I was able to more clearly create criteria for what energised me, it helped me identify my passion, discover a purpose, and consequently, I was able to open up new possibilities and career options.

I always aim to cultivate strong relationships and provide platforms to enable mutual success for those who want to share their message with, learn from and collaborate with help each other.

As a strategic advisor with over 30 years of experience, my excitement and passion for the "Future of Work" topics encourage me to help leaders understand how to best leverage their greatest resource - their people.
